Quicksand Creek #20 (API 42-351-00028) is a plugged well in Newton County, plugged July 18, 1972, last operated by Sinclair Carl Oil Well Service.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1998, permitted to 11,000 ft.

It was permitted by Axis Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Sinclair Carl Oil Well Service on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 216K barrels of oil and 1.12M mcf of gas since January 1996, last reporting in June 2024. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
